Strawberry thanks team for support New York Yankees outfielder

Daryl Strawberry,who overcame cancer to help his team with the World Series on Wednesday, broke into tears during Friday's victory parade as he thanked manager Joe Torre

also a cancer survivor for all his support through his health and legal troubles.

Torre quickly jumped up to comfort Strawberry as the millions of fans lining Lower Manhattan's "Canyon of Heroes" began to cheer. After about a minute, the ballplayer continued his speech.

"I'd just like to say to Joe, thanks for caring for me," he said. "And I love you guys."

Torre missed the start of season after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Strawberry was diagnosed with colon cancer during last year's playoffs.

Dutch prince suffers medical ills

Prince Bernhard

, the elderly father of BYLINE1:Dutch Queen Beatrix

, says he feels "lousy, really lousy" after surviving six operations over the past year and a half.

The 88-year-old prince, visiting Rotterdam to unveil a statue of Beatrix's grandmother BYLINE1:Queen Wilhelmina, did not elaborate, but his statement Friday was front-page news in the royalty-obsessed Netherlands.

Bernhard had surgery last month on his windpipe after having had a tube inserted earlier this year to assist his breathing. Last year, his eyes were operated on twice to repair a detached retina, he had treatment for an enlarged prostate, and scar tissue was removed from his bladder.

Despite his health troubles, the prince, a former president of the World Wide Fund for Nature, has continued his work on various charitable causes.
